All user reviews for the Fender Classic Player '60s Stratocaster

Already described in the notice below. Well I just

UTILIZATION

put my grain of salt because I'm pretty disappointed with the violin of this guitar.
Some clarification: I bought it for € 350 OCCAZ, which is quite correct for this guitar. The new price of 700 € is a bit abused for the quality of the violin. Until now I was playing on Ibanez (including an Ibanez Prestige RGA-VLF that cost me € 650 brand new violin and whose quality is much better).

So here are all first flaws (It's my opinion, some may be characterized by other qualities):
- Mechanical vintage super painful. I can not hit the chopper to bring the strings without too much hassle.
- It is necessary to unscrew the handle in order to adjust the truss rod ...
- Besides, it will probably stick to the same address if your vendor has not done.
- It will also check the saddle, mine is too low.
- The bridges have been installed in the disorder, with those with long screws on the low E string and, what good taste you scratch your hand if you have not paid attention before leading palm mute. With shorter screws up, this problem is less ...
- The screw fixing the vibrato at the high E string is too close to the bridge of the same string and can come to hang it in a setting intonation.
- The result is a deplorable action and playability quite limited if you paid a high price for this guitar. If not considering the price that I paid for it bother me more than that actually ...

Neutral points:
- It is worthwhile to repeat the electronic mass star and a shield of the cavity to remove unwanted noise.
- Unidentified cause a tremendous amount of buggery high E string which I dare not even get on stage so it's reliable. My luthier says it's the bridge that we must file a little, and being shot with a mechanical vintage is not for nothing either.
- The junction is a good body handle large cube uncomfortable and awkward for access to acute. But Fender is good, it's like this ...

Strengths:
- Well, despite all that I have too many problems with the tremolo tuning does not move when I buggers around with.

SOUNDS

No problem on that side: it sounds Fender 60's as it should. Ca blues, funk and it rock it (dirty) to death according to your settings for saturation. In the register was Hendrix on the neck position, the position Knopfler neck / middle, roasters funk of Tower of Power or the sound of Wayne Krantz position middle / vibrato, a little Pink Floyd in all positions etc. .. .
All positions have their (very strong) personality, and ultimately that's why we love him and we care for all its faults.

Obviously the big problem is that the microphones simple, it does not make high output level, and when you plug this guitar into your amp set to eat big humbucker in the teeth, and although there is more person and it takes up all your winnings / volume ...

OVERALL OPINION

So I use it for 6 months I think. Up here I was playing on an Ibanez saber, an Ibanez RGA and an old Aria.
Its level is that this guitar has the most personality (And yet the RGA with a good pair of microphone is not far behind). Level violin is one which is worse ...
You'll understand: my opinion the value of nine prices is not worth the shot too. But OCCAZ and in good condition it does.

Nothing to add. 60 a Start made in Mexico and designed by the custom shop. This guitar is beautiful to fall. Hard to find pictures that really make it justice. The official pictures of the site fender can not realize the true appearance of the guitar.

UTILIZATION

Is the handle that I prefer: super nice and playable. The action is low and that I fully agree. Nothing wrong with respect to weight or overall comfort.

SOUNDS

This guitar has a strong personality as a whole. Both finish that level in terms of sound. I totally agree with jullkin. This is scratching at something more than the others. For cons, I do not think the bridge pickup is loud. It's very crisp and clear but without the side grater eardrum.

Anyway, the sound is a matter of taste and for that we must try.


OVERALL OPINION

Like everyone, I dreamed of a beautiful strat U.S.. Like all those who have no means enormous, I started eyeing the side of Highway One series. Then I tried the Classic Player Sonic Blue 60's which left me on the ass ...

This guitar is flawless in terms of both style and sound with a big advantage: price. A little research, it is found less than 600 € new.

I tried a Deluxe Roadhouse Stratocaster, Mexican texas special pickups equipped. She left a good memory but I found the classic player 60 more comfortable to play better and finished with more character in sound.

Admittedly, I put 10 around then yes, you can always find something better. However, I think this model is a gem. He gave me the urge to look to the U.S. models because, unless you have a budget really superior, I am convinced that we can not find better.
